Reasons why it pays not to be a smoker - if the quake had hit during opening hours there would have been probably half a dozen smokers underneath the black awning crushed by falling bricks.
The line that runs across this picture is the subsidence line - everything this side of the line has sunk by about 50 cm.
The base of the tower on the right of this picture has sunk about 25cm so that the lower course of bricks have disappeared below ground level. Meanwhile the other end of the building has sunk about 50cm splitting the building into thirds. The sand you can see is what came bubbling up out of the ground due to liquifaction.

I used to get lunch at the cafe "Next Best" here. Glad the earthquake did not strike at lunch time!
